👀 Unexpected twist: Tatay Torres' return to Nacional in doubt | OneFootball

What seemed like Juan Pablo “Tatay” Torres’ guaranteed return to Atlético Nacional has taken an uncertain turn. Although the green club is planning a deep overhaul for the second half of the year, the spectacular form of the 21-year-old midfielder at Deportes Tolima has changed the rules of the game.

Success in Ibagué and sporting priority

Under Lucas González’s management, Torres has fully unleashed his potential: he has recorded seven goals and four assists this season. People close to him have stated that the player’s intention is to remain at Tolima, where he enjoys a leading role and regular playing time that would not be guaranteed in Medellín. In addition, the “Vinotinto y Oro” side’s participation in international tournaments offers a showcase that Nacional lost after its early elimination.

Nacional’s plan

Despite the player’s wishes, the club’s board sees him as a key piece to replace leaders such as Edwin Cardona. The club wants to increase his value for a future move abroad, but the final decision remains open and will depend on intense negotiations in the coming weeks.
